i would suspect another workaround would be to add

 APT::Key::gpgvcommand "/usr/bin/gpgv";

to a file late in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/

that should restore the use of gpgv instead of sqv.

whether this helps can be tested with

 apt update -o APT::Key::gpgvcommand="/usr/bin/gpgv"

viele grüße :: m.eik
